Breakfast Cookie...No Sugar, No Dairy, No Eggs, No Gluten

So I stumbled across these little morsels on Pinterest the other day. They looked good, but I have to admit that I was a little skeptical because they contain no sugar. Yep, that's right. No chocolate. No peanut butter. How could they possibly be good? Well, let me tell you, they are my friends. Little ooey gooey morsels of yum. AND, they are great for a little "breakneck breakey". That's another word for breakfast according to a friend of ours. Anyways, just add fruit to the side of your plate and maybe a little greek yogurt and you're good to go. My oldest LOVES them. The youngest, well, he is a super healthy eater but when you use the word "cookie" he expects sugar. I never should have used that word. I think he thought the dates were chocolate chips. He is my child that's for sure. Can you blame him? I would take chocolate chips over dates any day. So here's the recipe...with my substitutions. I only had two ripe bananas and I try to avoid canola oil. You can substitute the oil for plain applesauce (just use less), pumpkin puree (my choice) or even coconut oil (although it can sometimes be all you taste).
